Cardiff Blues star Gavin Henson is determined to show Wales credentials against European champions Leinster. The Western Mail's Andy Howell reports.
"Giving his first interview since making his debut for the Blues after recovering from a broken wrist, Henson insisted he was pleased with his comeback from injury... but admitted it was time to take his game up a notch.
“Every match is massive for me from here on in,” declared the former Ospreys star. “The Six Nations is not far away and I’m running out of time to impress before then. It’s great to be back out on the field. I really enjoyed the two games I’ve played in, against the Dragons and the Ospreys.
“I’m pretty good and am just hoping to get a start at the weekend against Leinster, who aren’t European champions for nothing. I don’t think anyone has higher expectations of me, and the way I play, than I do of myself.
“I know I have to be patient after my wrist injury and it’s frustrating to make small mistakes in games. But I’m going in the right direction and, hopefully, I’m getting better with each game. I’m just concentrating on getting into the flow of it and more involved in the action.
“There’s always been a bit of hype around me for whatever reason but I don’t think it has any affect on my rugby. It’s never been an issue for me. If it helps on the entertainment side, great, because we’re in the entertainment business."
